When President Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803, nobody could have guessed exactly what he had bought. Jefferson sent several small scouting expeditions across the continent to explore. Every single group met with failure except one – Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. Theirs is a story filled with thrills, suspicions of espionage, death threats, factions and rivalry from within, near-fatal accidents, natural disasters, extreme temperatures, near starvation, mutiny, desertion, and occasionally a bit of comedy. More than anything else, Lewis and Clark’s expedition is a story about friendship and overcoming the odds. Experience one of the greatest adventures in American history. Journey along with Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery as they go Off the Map.
